Samoan Fish (Vaisu)

Submitted by PanNan

"A typical simple fish preparation from Samoa. Preparation time does not include time to prepare the grill."

 

• Ready In: 17mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 3 lbs fish (use a fresh whole mild white fish, gutted, scaled and head removed)
• 1 1⁄2 cups coconut milk
• 1⁄2 onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 chili pepper, minced

directions

1. Prepare the grill, preferably a charcoal grill. Grill the whole fish until it is cooked (the flesh flakes easily with a fork).
2. Meanwhile add the coconut milk, onion, salt and chile pepper in a bowl.
3. When the fish is cooked, pour the coconut milk mixture over the fish to thoroughly soak it. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes to absorb the milk mixture.
4. Serve with cooked rice.
